Dotfiles

To get started, clone the repository into the home directory:

git clone https://github.com/michaelbrusegard/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles

When finished switch to use SSH for the repository:

cd ~/dotfiles && git remote set-url origin [email protected]:michaelbrusegard/dotfiles.git

Heads-up: The dotfiles in this repository are incomplete because I also maintain private dotfiles with sensitive information that I want to keep secure. The setup for the private dotfiles is the same.

Arch

Creating symlinks for the config files

cd ~/dotfiles/arch && stow -t ~ home && sudo stow -t /etc etc

MacOS

Before setting up MacOS, System Intergrity Protection (SIP) needs to be partially disabled for the yabai tiling window manager to work correctly.

1. Turn off the mac, then press and hold the power button until "Loading startup options" appears. Click Options, then click Continue.

2. In the menu bar, choose Utilities, then Terminal

3. Run this:

csrutil enable --without fs --without debug --without nvram

Then go through each script below making sure it completes correctly before running the next.
